Charles L. Lawrence, 73, of Elkhorn, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Feb. 4, 2021.
He was born Feb. 14, 1947, in Cook County, Illinois, the son of Herschall and Emma (Aul) Lawrence who have preceded him in death, as well as his loving wife, Elaine M. (Sanderson) Lawrence.
Charlie and Elaine were married on April 27, 1968, at First Lutheran Church in DeKalb, Illinois. They settled in Naperville, Illinois, where they raised their two children Richard (Annette) and Julie Lawrence. They ultimately retired between both of their homes in Elkhorn and Naples, Florida.
“Papa Charlie” loved spending every moment possible with his most adored grandchildren Nicholas and Katelyn Lawrence. He was also a loving brother-in-law, cousin and uncle to many. He was blessed to be loved by so many amazing friends as well.
